• In 2009, after not getting a flat in the 'Nibbana cooperative housing society' in the Pali Hill area, Bandra, Mumbai, he accused the society of doing “religious discrimination” against him as they refused a no objection certificate (NOC) to purchase a flat in the society because of his religion, which was denied by the society.
M D Suvarna, from whom Emraan wanted to buy the flat, later said that he didn't want to sell it anymore. He said, "I received a call from my son in Canada that he might return and might need the flat; he then advised me not to sell it. I informed the Hashmis that my plans had changed and my son needed the flat."
• When Emraan and Mahesh Bhatt were invited at Karan Johar's show 'Koffee with Karan', he said that Aishwarya Rai is "plastic", Aamir Khan is "boring" and then used the "overrated" adjective for Imran Khan.

Some Lesser Known Facts About Emraan Hashmi

Does Emraan Hashmi smoke?: No

Does Emraan Hashmi drink alcohol?: Yes

Emraan was born to a Muslim father and a Christian (Catholic) mother and his loved ones used to call him Emmi.

His paternal grandfather, Shauqat Hashmi, migrated to Pakistan after the 1947 Indo-Pak partition, while his grandmother, Meherbano Mohammad Ali (a.k.a Purnima), was an actress, who stayed back in India.

He was supposed to make his Bollywood debut with the film ‘Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar’ (2001) alongside Ameesha Patel but was rejected later; as the makers of the film felt that he was not fit for the role.

After making his debut, he changed his screen name from Emraan to Farhan Hashmi, but after the release of his next film Murder, he again changed it to Emraan Hashmi.

His movie “Murder” made a turning point to his career, and he received great laurels from the viewers for this film. He also got the tag of Serial Kisser after this.

Though he is known for his kissing scenes, ‘Awarapan’ (2006) was an exception which had no kissing scenes.

In an interview, he was asked about his best and worst on-screen kiss, to which he replied that his Murder 2 kiss with Jacqueline Fernandez was the best and the one with Mallika Sherawat in Murder was the worst one.

He hates parties and socializing; as it makes him bored.

Emraan was spotted in a very different look in the film Shanghai; he was seen with a paunch and dirty teeth, and his performance was critically acclaimed.

He has done a lot of commercials also, but he chooses very wisely the type of commercials he wants to do.

He had struggled through the most difficult part of his life when his four-year-old son was detected with cancer.

In 2016, his autobiographical book ‘The Kiss of Life’ was released in which he shared his experience dealing with his 3-year-old son Ayaan’s cancer diagnosis and treatment.

More than his movies, his songs make a buzz and accumulate half of the cost of the movie alone.
